Sending Parcels

At the Post Office

When you want to send a package, you are expeditorul (the sender). The verb to send or dispatch is a expedia.

To explain why you are doing something, use pentru a followed by the infinitive form of the verb (like "in order to").

If you want your package to arrive faster, you can choose to send it prioritar (priority).

To express uncertainty or a guess, you can start your sentence with the phrase poate că (maybe / perhaps).

Recipients and Notices

The person receiving the package is destinatarul (the recipient). When referring to people respectfully, you can use the polite pronouns dânsul (he) or dânsa (she).

If the recipient is not home, the postal worker will leave a delivery notice, known as avizul.

Registered Mail and Deliveries

For important documents, you might want to send them recomandat (registered). Remember that adjectives in Romanian agree in gender and number with the noun they describe, so you will see forms like recomandată for feminine nouns.

When expressing likelihood, use the phrase probabil că (probably).

The process of bringing the package is called livrarea (the delivery), and the person bringing it to your door is poștașul (the postman).

Finally, when talking about a group of people respectfully, use the polite plural pronouns dânșii (they, for masculine or mixed groups) and dânsele (they, for feminine groups).
